Of at least 8 types of art curricula, here are the 4 that I intend to compare in my final project for their effects on my elementary art program:
Post-modern - Not primarily concerned with elements, principles or art history, focuses on social issues, and uses the themes of Appropriation, juxtaposition, recontextualization, layering, text, hybridity of media, gazing(breaking stereotypes) AND representing your culture/sub-culture
Discipline Based Arts Education - This was the model for my coursework to become an art educator. Includes modern ideas of elements, principles, production, art history, criticism and aesthetics. Some scholars beleive that DBAE is post-modern in its approach in that it is multi-cultural, concerned with aesthetics
Experiential - Fun for the students and fun for me (except perhaps for clean-up time!)
Visual Culture - All vision is socialized and purpose is to think about perception and seeing. Could possibly include art history at its core with heavy doses of advertisments and the whole spectrum of traditionally "non-art" images
There will undoubtedly be much overlap among the 4 types of curricula I have chosen, even though I have attempted to select ones as disparate as possible to reap maximum benefit from this course.
